Congress Clamors
For Reduction of
Business Burdens
National Co-Operation to Halt Economic
Recession Sought by President
Roosevelt
WASHINGTON,Nov. 15 (AP)President Roosevelt
advocated tax revision and national cooperation to halt
the economic "recession" today to congressmen already
clamoring for a lessening of burdens on business.
The chief executive's message signalled the start of
a special session seriously entangled over a four-point leg
islative program and resounding with demands for tax
changes ahead of all else.
Clerks read to senators and representatives in their
respective chambersand to galleries crowded with
spectatorsMr. Roosevelt's words which to many listen
ers overshadowed his re
quest for "early action" on
farm crop control, wage and
hi' H '
hour, regional planning and ig ight s
executive reorganiia-
tion legislation. of F. R. s
"Unjust (tax) provisions should
be removed provided the removal
does not create new injustices."
the president said. " We
should give special consideration
to lightening inequitable burdens
on the enterprise of the small
business men of the nation."
But the president refrained
from earmarking taxes for spe
cial consideration at the extra
ordinary session despite a vigor
ous campaign among many of his
strongest supporters for imme
diate modification of the capital
gains andcorporate undistrlmted
profits taxes.
The usual back-slapping noisi
ness of a fresh session reigned on
the senate and house floors. Vice
President Garner banged his
gavel to quiet the buzz of conver
sation for the opening prayer.
Speaker Bankhead. his actress
daughter Tallulah looking on from
the gallery, could hardly hear 314
members shout "present" to their
names. .
Notes Recessions
Paramount in conversation
were Mr. Rooseveit's remarks on
"a marked recession in industrial
production and industrial pur
chases" which through "decreas
ing the national income" became
"a matter of definite congern."
Summoning business to "a cor
dial and confident cooperation"
upon which be said the well
being of the nation depends, Mr.
Roosevelt said:
"There is no reason why we
should suffer any prolonged re
cession, let alone any general eco
nomic paralysis. Despite some mal
adjustments, which can be cor
rected, underlying conditions are
not unfavorable.
"Obviously an Immediate task
is to try to increase the use of
private capital to create employ
ment. Private enterprise, with
cooperation on the part of the
government, can advance to high
er levels of industrial activity
than those reached earlier this
year. Such advance will assure
belayed budgets. It private
enterprise does not respond, gov
ernment must take up the slack."
Mr. Roosevelt said he expected
next year's budget to be balanced
and promised a later message on
means of encouraging private cap
ital in the housing field.
Members listened silently and
